Are you considering a Siamese cat as your next pet? Making the decision to bring a Siamese into your household shouldn’t be taken likely. Although beautiful and striking, they demand more attention than many other breeds of cat, and trouble can arise if a household doesn’t meet a Siamese’s requirements.

The behavior and personality characteristics of the Siamese are similar throughout the breed, regardless of whether they’re ‘wedge heads’ (otherwise known as ‘show style’) or ‘apple-heads’ (also known as ‘traditional’). Their meow, intelligence, and ability to be trained make them one of the most unique types of cats. Rather than meow, they ‘yowl’; a wail often likened to a human baby’s cry...

Urinary problems in cats can be a painful and recurring problem. Cats with weakened immune systems, such as those that are already ill or elderly, are at a greater risk for urinary issues. Although there are other causes, bacteria is often to blame for bladder problems in cats. Animals that are overweight or that have long hair tend to be less able to clean the feces from around their genitals and this can predispose them to bladder infections. In many cases, these problems in cats can be greatly reduced, or avoided entirely with preventative care.

It is essential that you treat any urinary problems your cat experiences. Left untreated, urinary problems in cats can cause severe pain, weight loss, and house soiling...

Before blaming it to cats urinary tract infection, your kitty’s recent ‘accident’ on the bed or your favorite pair of shoes might not be caused by feline UTI. It might not be a medical condition, but a behavioral problem, especially when this kind of situation is repetitive. Your pet might be trying to tell you something that regular meows and body rubs can’t cover.

So why does your cat relieve itself outside the litter box? First, take your pet to the vet to rule out cats urinary tract infection.

One is the assault on your nose and the other is the drain on your bank balance. I don’t think I need to elaborate any more on these; if you’ve ever faced this situation, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

The causes of litter box problems can be due to any of these:

1. Are you using the right type of litter? There are plenty of choices and choosing one that your cat fancy may not be easy.

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Cats

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Cats. With the American cat population hovering around 75 million, it’s clear that cats are one of the country’s favorite pets. Despite their popularity, though, there’s a lot that most people don’t know about domesticated felines. Here are five fascinating facts about cats that will help you be a better-informed and more conscientious pet owner.

1. Cats hardly ever meow at one another. The familiar meow is a sound reserved almost exclusively for cat-human interaction; it is extremely rare for one cat to meow at another. Instead, they rely on looks, touching and scents for cat-to-cat communication. If your cat meows, you should assume that it is speaking directly to you.

Should You Have Your Cats Spayed Or Neutered?

Should You Have Your Cats Spayed Or Neutered? Whether to have your cats spayed or neutered is the source of debate between those for and against animal sterilization. Each side has its own firmly held beliefs and opinions. It is important to understand both sides in order to decide for yourself whether to spay or neuter your family cat or cats.

Also, un-neutered males produce strong smelling urine. So, generally, there are personal incentives for the cat owner to consider an “alteration.”

Arthritis in Cats Holistic Treatment Options

Arthritis in Cats Holistic Treatment Options. Studies have shown that 30% of cats over 8 years of age, and a stunning 90% of cats over 12 years of age, have arthritis (osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease). These figures should give the veterinary community, which doesn’t give nearly as much thought to arthritis in cats as it does to dogs, something to think about. What is generally perceived as “slowing down” or “a little stiff” may be a sign of significant joint deterioration, and probably causes some degree of discomfort in most older cats.

Arthritic cats often gradually stop jumping up as high as they once did, and may be reluctant to use the stairs...
